smcdonald1000 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 After I lost my Warrens earlier this year I swore that I'd never have chickies again - BUT we lasted about a month! We now have: Millie - Pekin Bantam, Buffy - Buff Orpington Bantam and Treacle - Jubilee Orpington Bantam All too young to lay, but such fun. I wanted to ask - how big does a bantam Buff Orpington get? - she's enormous! almost as big as my Warrens were. Also has anyone else have or had Jubilee Orpingtons - she is sooo tiny and not very confident - do they always stay like this? We have a proper WIR for them now and a tidy garden!

zakjon-98 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Sorry about your warrens your new hens sound great though. Buff orpingtons are big birds so the bantams are a decent size although shouldn't get any bigger than the size of a warren hen and I'm sure your jubilee Orpington will tame eventually with treats. Some people find they calm down a bit when in lay as well. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My jubilee Orpington Lola is the reason I have so many chickens. I felt sorry for her as she was bottom of the heap and such a sweet girl so decided to get her her own little group of friends She is now in her second year and has blossomed into a beautiful girl from the scraggy little thing she was when I first got her.
